100 Hoxton (Hoxton)

• 100 Hoxton describes its menu as an Asian inspired fusion cuisine designed for sharing but with good portions being served per plate
• Ve also vamped up their menus which I suspect is seasonally changed and added pinchitos and tapas during the earlier hours of the evening along with their happy hours
• The sections are aptly labeled &lsquo
• 7 spiced crispy quail with plum chutney and a chicory and baby onion salad&rsquo
• Mango shrikhand with cardamom yoghurt
• It tasted good too with the cumquat adding a bit of a bitter zest to balance the sweetness of the shrikhand and shortbread
• 100 Hoxton from the outside is an unassuming gem nestled in the back streets of Hoxton
• When I first got in touch with 100 Hoxton
• It was because I thought they were a perfect establishment for the new We The Food Snobs "
• I initially thought they had just opened but was told by Terri
• The interior of 100 Hoxton is a concrete and brickwork mix with a large copper topped bar as the main central feature
• Even at 7pm with cocktails flowing and chins wagging
• The great thing about 100 Hoxton is that the menu design is simple
• Split Pea Fritter with Halloumi &
• It is obviously designed with vegetarians in mind but as a proud meat loving man
• I can honestly say it is certainly deserving of note
• There was a choice of Braised Octopus with Garam Masala
• Yoghurt Chutney or Chargrilled Prawns with Chilli Salt
• All sounded amazing but we decided to go with a dish of Bream Fillet baked in a banana leaf
• Unfortunately we were so enthusiastic I forgot to snap a picture of it before we started tucking in
• Our next dish to arrive was the Slow Roasted Pork with Pickled Papaya
• The pork was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp crackling top and each bite was extremely moreish
• The perfect accompaniment for it all was a dish of Crushed Potatoes with Poppy Seeds
• After polishing it all off we thought we'd better sit back and relax with a few more cocktails
• My top tipple of the evening was a refreshing and fruity mix of Vodka
• The finale of the night came in the form of Spiced Plum Clafoutis with Amaretto &
• If you aren't quite sure what clafoutis is then you aren't the first to question
• After being told that it was a dish of spiced plums dipped in batter and baked
• Light but indulgent with a hefty dollop of cream
• Not only does it offer a creative menu with incredible flavours but its menu design of sharing a dish from each of the five different categories
• I would have to be up with the birds in order to get in anywhere
• In the evenings they serve small plates with a Turkish twist but on the weekends they do their own take on some fabulous brunches
• Both plates were very generously sized
• A slice of sourdough with plenty of butter
• It also should have come with mushrooms but I don&rsquo
• Drizzled all over was a jalapeno sauce with a heavy dose of coriander
• I enjoyed every mouthful and thought the portion was just right
• S mushrooms came with two eggs and roasted tomatoes and
• Second in command is ex Ottolenghi
• Toasted nuts) with tangy and bright (thinly sliced green apple
• Ripe tomato) is just beautiful
• My second favorite vegetable is the roast squash which contrasts rich earthy tones with sharp bright ones
• My favourite starch is the crispy toasted crushed potatoes
• The selection of flat breads with different toppings is nice too
• Perfectly pink and with a slightly sweet sauce underneath
• Braised squid or cuttle fish is our usual seafood option
• My only complaint about 100 Hoxton is the terrible acoustics
• Now the roast potato is sacred foodstuff
• I mopped up every single piece of food on my plate and washed it down with passionfruit
• The cured salmon with wasabi yogurt
